Paper systems in France are sheet of paper in envelope put in transparent double locked boxes. For each envelope you have one signature in a register from the citizen. Anyone can stay from the start to the end to assert no magical envelope appeared/disapeared inside.

MMO Friend is a German. She says things like "If I win the lottery, first I will cut my work time to part time, then start working on starting my own company" When she said this we did not know if she was joking or not, but it became clear she was not.

When she is not playing MMOs she often plays Euro Truck Simulator, Airport Firefighter Simulator (Which I did not know was a thing until she talked about it), Train simulator, and Minecraft. She doesn't even build anything she just mines tons and tons of stuff then very very efficiently organizes everything she mined into massive rooms full of chests.

But you know what? Even though lots of jokes about being German aside, it made her happy, and she enjoyed it, and that's all that's important.

The Sig MCX is a semiautomatic rifle and the glock 17 is a semiautomatic pistol. Neither weapons used were capable of automatic fire, or were they military weapons. Many law enforcement agencies do use the glock 17 and AR15 variant weapons though. Neither of these weapons would classify as military or automatic though. He could have used a Ruger Mini 14 and been just as effective.

Hunting rifles in France are Bolt action guns with a capacity no greater than 11 rounds, or semi automatic guns with capacity no greater than 3 rounds.
Getting any weapon of category B is really hard (I never saw one).
So yeah for me an AR15 is a military weapon and, maybe I'm wrong, but getting an ar15 is harder in France and far less common.

Yeah, can't recommend Polymer enough for front-end work and of course Go for backend. I call it the POGO stack ... Of course there is no direct link between front-end and back-end if you do it right - ideally you'll use things like REST / JSON which both sides make extremely easy and performant.

Although they are obviously very different technologies for different ends of the web, Polymer and Go both have a similar "feel" to them - well thought out, low ceremony, pragmatic and great for productivity. The tooling and ecosystems for both are flourishing and will only improve going forward. In short, both are a great bet if you want to pick technology to learn and build on for the future.

Lots of big-name web frameworks are still in the yesteryear mindset and they are starting to show their age. You can build apps with them (you can still build apps with jQuery) but they have been overtaken somewhat as the web platform has evolved.

Checkout the Google videos about Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) and the PRPL pattern for fast loading, mobile friendly apps. Polymer makes it much easier than some other frameworks do.

I'm still not a fan of the Item 2.0 selection UI. The floaty and whimsical text clashes with the rest of the game. It also looks kind of fiddly to use if you're in a rush. It's looked the same ever since the Morrow Tour, so I'm starting to think it's not placeholder.
